To all whom may concern:

Be it known thaty l, Gimuan'x' YV, Gom)- nmms, a citizen of 'the United Sima el' funericu, and residing :it Brit]eport7 i x. the county ef Fairfield und c ie of Ccnnecth cut, have invented u certain new und .naproved Strain-Relief for Electrical Dcvice, of which the lellewing is u speeilcutien.

My invention relates te roset't'es, sockets und other electrical devices in which the lmred ends of electrical conductors ure ficcured hy hiiuling screws lo terminal plut and the. object of my invention te previtle such devices 'willi L simple and, cll'icicnt nietins whereby the strati l en the connection ef the Wires to the terniinul ulutes muy be rclieved or 'when up, so that there Jill no liability ofthe Wires hecuin, n' `leue therefrom through the strain of u Nispen lmnp er other pull on he cords.

Inflhe accompanying drmvlng, l have shown my invention as applied te zi Simple forni of fuscless; rosette, huit will he uu- (lerbteotl that this'is for illustru'fsc purposes only, my iuventien being uppllcuhle to vuriormy 'forum el: reseas mul am@ to nher electrical tle.fice.-s requiring strain reliefs.
